Metalloplastikovye Windows In Questions and Answers

In this article we will try to describe the typical questions that people ask when buying PVC windows. So, let's begin.

How quiet is the house with metal-plastic windows?

The design of the PVC profile allows you to significantly reduce the noise in the house. The noise level in a house with such structures is about 50 dB, which is commensurate with the noise of leaves rustling.

Here are some examples for comparison:

• Vacuum cleaner - about 95 dB;
• The computer is 35 dB;
• The road, the highway - 80db;
• The road, the highway - 80db;
• Conventional conversation - 50 dB;
• Tram - 86 Db.

    Does the plastic skip the wind?

No. It is completely sealed. Blowing is possible if the installation is poor (if the foam is not sufficiently blown). The design of the window itself is extremely tight. This tightness is achieved with the help of special sealing materials based on rubber.

How harmful is polyvinyl chloride and whether it releases harmful substances?

The question is really controversial. In the production of certain profile types, lead is used to impart whiteness. But, again, good brands have long abandoned such technologies, replacing them with environmentally friendly analogs.

Why are metal-plastic windows better than others?

On the lack of ecological plastics really said a lot. Yes, in the production of some plastics, heavy metals are used as a catalyst, and in some manufacturers PVC is added lead (for whiteness). It is recommended that if you are really concerned about the issue of ecology, buy good brands (eg Rehau, Aluplast, Salamander, Deceuninck). These plants do not accurately use harmful substances, but because of this, the final cost increases. So, the choice is yours.

What is the optimal thickness of the double-glazed window?

Metal-plastic single-chamber windows must be at least 12 mm in thickness, 2-chamber ones should be 21. These are general rules, then each producer proceeds in his own way, but, in general, makes thicker.

How does the strength of the structure change with time?

Everything is subject to aging. Metal-plastic windows are no exception. Over time, they can slightly change the color (from the constant exposure to ultraviolet light). PVC itself is not particularly deformed.

How old is PVC?

Practice has shown - PVC serves at least 20 years, and then everything depends on the quality of the product.

How to serve purchased structures

Special care for acquisitions is not necessary, only wash the surface of the window with warm water with soapy water and, preferably once a year, process the rubber bands of the gaskets so that they do not lose their elasticity.
